Hospital sterilisation wrap recycling initiative 
A LOCAL company has been refining an innovative process to recycle surgical sterilisation wrap, collaborating with Hamilton Hospital and Nigretta of Hamilton to potentially expand the technique across the country.
HAMILTON’S Sustainable Plastic Solutions has taken on the revolutionary project of recycling sterilisation wrap from the Hamilton Hospital, with the help of Nigretta of Hamilton employees, to reduce the amount of clean product wasted in landfill. Pictured with the sterilisation wrap that will be turned into recyclable product is Nigretta of Hamilton site manager, Jamie Lynas; Nigretta of Hamilton employee, Meg Lewis; Sustainable Plastic Solutions R+D and quality, Elisha Nettleton; Nigretta of Hamilton employee, Craig Francis; Hamilton Hospital environmental sustainability officer, Heinz de Chelard; and Nigretta of Hamilton employee, Tracey McCalman.
